Political candidates promise CHANGE!
The big "C" Word for the day! Change!
Change in the health care system!
Change in the tax refund system!
Change in the control of the White House!
Change in the systems of stability in our nation!
"Overthrow" is a word which might describe the effects of some change being promoted.
Listening to the candidates, you might think that CHANGE is the only issue of the day.
How about this, for a change: How about choosing the candidate who determines to bring restoration of foundational matters to our nation?
If we listen carefully, we might hear that somewhere in all this loud cry for CHANGE is one voice which promises to cling to the foundations upon which this nation was founded. One basic one comes to mind: In God we Trust!
The actual daily trust in God's direction for our nation is the most essential ingredient of all attributes required for presidential leadership.
Governing a nation "under God" is the work of a president of the USA. Other nations have come into existence without God's involvement. But not the United States of America. The life of our nation is dependent upon the foundation -- our faith in God and His favor and blessing upon us.
It is with this in mind that I open my ears to hear the 'behind the scenes' words which the candidates are using. What is dear to their hearts when it comes to their life and death choices? What do they really stand for in life? What principles have they staked their lives upon? What are they willing to give their lives for? Have they proven by their experience that they will not vascillate under any pressure to do something that defies God's ways for mankind?
If push came to shove, what really matters in life to these people we are planning to place in authority over us?
With presidents and kings on the other end of the phone line demanding this and that, what will be the method of choice for the president? Who will be the ultimate authority in the matter of decision-making? Is there a legal system that governs over all the nations which is already established? If so, will that Law be the guiding principle?
Running the office of the presidency each day will be in the hands of professionals who do this as careers. Dealing with party platforms and issues of the day -- that's commonly understood as being basically already decided -- each party has a roster, an agenda of promise to the nation via its past decisions. Making deals politically between the give and take of our system of government, that's common practice. But what about the big decisions of accountability to God for actions which government takes which effect the population being governed? Who is going to draw the line when principles are in conflict? Who will have the final say? To whom does the president look as the ultimate authority over all? Is there anyone? Or is that person the final determiner of his or her own decision making?
If the president has no moral authority over him or her, there is none over the people of the nation. We stand at this cross roads in this election.
Change? The change we need must come at those moments --after being elected-- when THE MAN OR THE WOMAN, OUR NEXT PRESIDENT, is able to make the ultimate and final decision concerning matters which will effect our national destiny. It will not be just about what we might want or what the president may think is good for us.
Our future as a nation will be determined in that moment by the response to what God has already determined is right for mankind.
If we dishonor God and His Laws and His Word by our selection of a secular leader, we will have already determined our fate as a nation among the nations.
We have no promise of freedom and liberty as a way of life unless we regard God above all else. This is what is at stake in this election.
Will we indeed be one nation under God? Or will we CHOOSE CHANGE AND GO OUR OWN WAY?
This is the issue in this election. Listen for the winds of change. The question I am asking as I listen to the library of words each day . . . How does God feel about it?
